Lang will be evaluated for concussion like symptoms after he exited Sunday's preseason game and went to the locker room.
Lang walked to the locker room under his own power, but that doesn't necessarily rule out a concussion. The veteran guard is expected to start at right guard for the Packers again this season, and a concussion at this point shouldn't change that unless something more serious comes of it.

Packers RG T.J. Lang was forced from Monday night's Week 9 game against the Bears with a concussion.
Lang was banged up in the first half. RT Don Barclay has shifted inside to right guard and Marshall Newhouse has entered at right tackle. On a short week, Lang will be hard pressed to make it back for Week 10 against Philadelphia.

Sat Dec 8 201210:03T.J. Lang limited Fri; questionable for Wk 14
Packers RT T.J. Lang (ankle) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is officially questionable for Week 14.
While Lang participated in Friday's jogthrough, he didn't do a ton of work. ƒ?oI wasnƒ?Tt expecting him to practice. I donƒ?Tt have a feeling one way or the other,ƒ?? said coach Mike McCarthy. He also said the Packers prepared all week for undrafted rookie Don Barclay to start at right tackle, which could mean that Lang, if he convinces the medical and coaching staffs to let him play, may be headed back to left guard.

Mon Dec 3 201202:13Packers RT Lang suffers ankle injury
Packers RT T.J. Lang missed the final three and a half quarters of Sunday's game with a left ankle injury.
The injury is not believed to be serious. Undrafted rookie Don Barclay stepped in and did a bang-up job against the Vikings' front seven. In fact, the majority of the Packers' 152 rushing yards came on the right side behind Barclay and RG Josh Sitton. The coaching staff may opt to move Lang back to left guard and keep Barclay in the lineup.

Mon Aug 13 201220:36Packers, Lang agree on four-year extension
Packers signed LG T.J. Lang to a four-year extension.
Lang beat out Derek Sherrod, the team's 2011 first-round pick, for the starting left guard last season and hasn't looked back. Pro Football Focus rated the 24-year-old as the 21st-best guard in the league last season, including a top-10 mark as a pass blocker. With Josh Sitton locked in on the right side, the Packers are set at guard for the long-term.

Sat Mar 17 201211:30Lang, Dietrich-Smith could replace Wells
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel considers LG T.J. Lang and G/C Evan Dietrich-Smith the Packers' leading in-house candidates to replace C Scott Wells.
The most likely scenario is Lang moving to center with Dietrich-Smith taking over at left guard. Reserve/future signee Sampson Genus is a dark horse candidate. Wells, who signed with the Rams on Friday, had been the Packers' starting center since 2005.

Tue Aug 23 201109:05Lang wins starting left guard job
Coach Mike McCarthy announced that T.J. Lang has won the Packers' left guard job.
Lang beat out No. 32 overall pick Derek Sherrod, whose mild knee sprain had nothing to do with the decision. "If you're talking about performance, T.J.'s performance grade was above Sherrod's," said McCarthy. The Packers boast one of the best and deepest offensive lines in the NFL. They will rarely need to keep Jermichael Finley in to block.

Wed Aug 17 201118:26T.J. Lang moves ahead of Derek Sherrod?
T.J. Lang appears to have overtaken first-round pick Derek Sherrod as the Packers' new starting left guard.
Line coach James Campen cited Lang's familiarity in the offense and says Sherrod "isn't playing as fast as he'd like to." According to Packers camp observers, Sherrod has looked more comfortable practicing at tackle, his college position. Regardless, the Packers easily project to field a top-ten line this season.

Mon May 16 201110:28Lang to battle for the LG job?
With free agent Daryn Colledge expected to walk, T.J. Lang will compete for the starting left guard job.
Lang has bounced around between tackle and guard, but his route to playing time is now on the inside. The Packers are locked in with young talents Derek Sherrod and Brian Bulaga at tackle. Lang will fit in just fine as an athlete in a zone-blocking scheme.

Sun Dec 12 201015:02Lang comes on for Spitz
T.J. Lang has replaced Jason Spitz at left guard for the Packers in the third quarter.
Spitz came on for starter Darren Colledge, who left with a knee injury. But the Packers couldn't protect Aaron Rodgers or Matt Flynn, so Lang is in. This Packers offense is completely out of sync.

Packers backup OL T.J. Lang (wrist) admitted that he won't be at 100 percent for training camp.
Lang, who sat out the offseason program, said that he may have to practice with a heavy brace or even a cast on his wrist. The Packers won't be counting on Lang unless there is an injury to Mark Tauscher or Josh Sitton.

Packers OL T.J. Lang reportedly underwent surgery on his left wrist in early April.

Coach Mike McCarthy confirmed that T.J. Lang's primary position will be right tackle this season.
